Republicans were sidetracked in the fall with tax reform, and Democrats halted headway last month to demand progress on protections for Dreamers, immigrants who had been brought to the US illegally as children.

That introduced doubts as to whether the plan could pass in House, where prominent GOP conservatives are also opposed to the higher spending. It would contain nearly $300 billion over current limits on defense and domestic accounts.

"It's like the second largest spendingincrease in the last decade - second only to the Obama stimulus package", said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). Pelosi's statement reveals the deep schisms within the Democratic Party between those willing to show some flexibility now after a three-day shutdown and those who are dug in on immigration. It also would postpone a reckoning with the federal debt limit.

January's shutdown came after Democrats sought to have a spendingbill include protections for the Dreamers that Trump has rescinded effective in March. While leaders carve out a deal, President Trump [VIDEO] has threatened a #government shutdown if a deal cannot be reached.

House GOP leaders are moving ahead with a plan to keep the government funded into mid-March, but there's a catch that Democratic leaders aren't going to like.

Democrats want to ensure equal increases for domestic and military programs.

The two-year deal would lift spending caps imposed by a failed 2011 budgetdeal, according to The Associated Press.

SenateDemocrats chose to delay their fight to protect the almost 700,000 young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, which in part led to last month's three-day shutdown.

Democrats also cited as a win an agreement for $6 billion over two years to address the scourge of opioid abuse, along with another $2 billion for the National Institutes of Health over the same period.

The budgetbill would set levels for fiscal 2018 and 2019.
